One year after getting fired by the Rangers, Jon Daniels is thriving as a full-time family man.
It was also an A-HA moment. Daniels knew exactly to what Lincoln was referring. For the sum of his son’s life — for the sum of all three of his children’s lives — Daniels had run the Rangers’ organization. Even when he was with the family, his mind was dragged elsewhere.
They must. Two weeks ago, on the spur of the moment, Harper asked if her dad would take her to a Post Malone concert. That night. Daniels thought about it a second.Which is how they ended up grooving to “White Iverson” together. while he moved to President of Baseball Operations. He wanted to put the organization back in healthy order. Something always came up. After the pandemic, it was the first stage of a restarted rebuild. Then it was the lockout. Then a compressed and stressful draft/trade deadline combo.He and Young had recommendedto owner Ray Davis last August. Before they approached Davis, Daniels had told Young “he had some burnout,” and was planning to step aside at the end of the season.
In the days that followed, Young and Daniels talked regularly. From Daniels’ perspective, whether he was given a more graceful dismount or fired are more about public messaging than about actual events. He had planned to hand things over to Young in the offseason anyway. The circumstances weren’t going to change things.
“They weren’t looking for somebody to come in and pick players,” Daniels said. “There was an element of just wanting a different perspective. They use the term of ‘lived experiences’ a lot, of sharing those. I really liked it. At this point, I like being in the role of being a resource and if it can help somebody grow, that’s great.”
